So I have compelted my first volunteer project. It was simple but I really enjoyed continuing my work with the Birmingham Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra. I helped keep all of the young musicians on schedule, ease parent concerns and nerves, and helped get judges dinner. It was a fun two evenings and a great start to achieving my goal.

How I did it: I had to get over some stuff in my life and decide that I was not required to be "old" yet. I took my life by the horns, went out with some new friends and danced. I loved every minute of it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: After flirting with yoga for almost ten years I finally found a private instructor who I really meshed with. I am training 2-3 days a week for an hour and a half with her and learning so much than I could have ever imagined. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I sat down and looked at my gift list several months ago. Time is key. I decided what skills I had that would be useful and what projects I would enjoy doing. I tried to use supplies that I had to cut costs and then tackled one project at a time. When a project got boring or I was uninspired I would try a smaller project that I could finish quickly. Read how I did it…

It was college and I had an amazing opportunity to sing in la Boheme. I will never forget it.
No one in my family has ever even thought about graduate school, most of them didn’t even go to college. I want to pick a masters program that will allow me to be a college professor since I love the academic life but the hard part is choosing the courses I want to take. There is this great program in New York but I just don’t know if I want to live in New York for 2 years. I’ve also contemplated religious or philosophical studies, or humanities. Now I just have to make up my mind, the hardest decision ever.
